When I first went into the pawnshop last week, I saw a mini 3 for $299. I talked them down to $230, and it was a Fly More combo! When I got home, I found out it was a mini 2 Fly More combo(I was content with it). After days of trying to get into contact with the guy who sold it, we finally got in touch to get it unbound. We later found out that that wasn’t his drone. So here I am at the pawnshop leaving with a mini 3Pro with the fancy screen controller for $230. He also agreed to sell me his hub and two other batteries for $100. So $330 for a mini 3 Pro combo.

TLDR: got a used mini 3 pro for $330

Definitely was extremely difficult. Definitely need to practice some more.

I took some sunset photos, but honestly, I don’t know what I’m doing. I don’t know if these turned out good or bad. I didn’t edit anything because I don’t know how. my thought process is I would’ve loved to see more of the city. There’s an entire city underneath that you can’t see at all. I would’ve liked a better silhouette, not just blackness, but I couldn’t find the right settings for the contrast. But I know a lot of photography is also editing, so I don’t know.

Honestly, super fun and extremely terrifying. At one point, I was feeling very confident. I flew straight up to about 365ft and got a shot of the city. On the way down about 165ft the low-level battery warning started happening, and it started to return home. But instead of going home, it flew up 400+ feet. Then high winds kicked in, so between the beeping and the wind warning, I freaked out a bit. Luckily, I brought it back home, and everything‘s fine, but terrifying. I kinda forgot to focus on looking at the screen instead of up at the drone, which I couldn’t even see because it was so high up. Then I also forgot to turn the gimbal down so I can easily see where I was coming down at. It was kind of a mess, but fun nonetheless. Overall, I did just choppy one-control movements, but I’ll get there.
